Abstract

The production of carbon dots (C-dots) by femtosecond lasers within living cells and tissues is a novel approach, which has a great potency for intracellular bioimaging. An exact mechanism of fluorescent particles production as well as their composition still remains unknown. In this work we use L-lysine film as a model system to study the mechanism and the composition of C-dots produced by femtosecond laser irradiation investigated by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS).
